are demanded,"5 says Jay Gou'd. "I terestinjj remarks,

Roseburg. "VVe know of no placewith a mere promising future thanRoseburg. All assurances point Co ac-

tive improvements on the coast thissummer. Whether the result is to bethe immediate construction of a railwayto this city we express no opinion; it is

enough to know that earnest operationson Coos-Ba- y must at once produce a

corresponding elFect here. Traffic andtravel will com me .ice bstwecn the two

points. Attraction from abroad willbe invited to enthe, southern Oregon.Tho unriraled mill sites and ' waterpower all around us must seen be putto their natural manufacturing facili-ti- es.

Capital from the factory centresot the Atlantic States will soon dis-

cover these advantages. TLe profita-bleness of a wool factory has long agobeen conceded. Our local capital can-

not unite on any projet of this kind.In Ashland, some years ago, a few menof enterprising spirit made a venturein this direction, and though deprived

f all railroad and water transportation,it grew rapidly in prosperity and popu-

lation, and to-d-ay is the most thrivingtown of its size on the coast. Not onlythis, but it has advanced all the adja-cent country in proportion. Boseburgis the centre of the main wool growingcountry of southern Oregon. It is thewool depot, and for the most desirable

grades. With a commodious, modernbuilt bridge spanning the Umpqua riv-

er here, and the contemplated improve-ments among our own citizens, w"e feel

justiUed in predicting for Roseburgnot only an encouraging, but a perma-nent future.

Quietwde prevails.The drummers are making their ap-

pearance in large numbers.

Alout the first of tine week our townwas visited by a severe storm, similarin character to a cvclone. At the com-inenceme- nt

of the storm a great deal of

damage wa3 anticipated, but the ele-

ments soon became more mild aod tLe

storm cloud soon vanished, leaving allsorene and lovelr.

Some of our prominent citizens wragrossly assau'ted during the week, by a

party circulating slanderous report?,which dealt very severely with theirgood names. We are pleased to re-

mark that their endeavors to injureour citizens was not attended with suc-

cess and the perpetration of that das

tardly deed is groping aiound in dis

gust, with a sad heart.

The Standard of the 12th says: Yes

terday we had a pleasant vinit withMichael Dean, one of the promidentmen and farmer., residents of lliddle,Douglas county, in this State. Mr-Dea- n

visits Portland for the first wtme

in fifteen years, and makes one daystop over in hia first journey to the old

home," located near St. Joe, Missouri,which he, in company with about onehundred emigrants, left twenty yearsaao. Mr. IJean is accompanied by Jen--a v a

tha Thornton and daughter and V. II.Kernan of Roseburg. Mr. Thorntonmade one of the emigrant party twentyyears ago, and visits the east with hisold friend. Mr. Dean expresses him-

self a3 fairlv bewildered at the wonderful growth of this city. This growthwas greatly emphasized to him yester-day, when he attempted to locate theold camping ground of his psrty on theWil'auiette river, in September, 1864,aftsr a five months journe'y across theplains. These gentlemen left by theNorthern Pacific train last evening.They will accomplish their old-tim- e liveutomhs journev, in fire days by rail.

A Future Seaside Eesort. We1 telie ve it is generally conceded by tour-ist- s

that of all places in Oregon, noneaffords a more magnificent landscapescenery than that from Coos Bay toPort Orf ord. It is not all forest norvet an open plain, but combines the

prairie, the forest, the level plain, therolling hill, the smooth and hard beach,the uucwasing roll of old - ocean, the

pretty white cottage and its green shut-

ter, the flower garden, the clifF, the

rocky clusters in deep ocean, the rest-

less sea gull, the sportive and loud-co- m

plaining rea lions as they roll, and

climb, aud sport and plunge, all thesecreate a charm one never tires to gazeupon. On the beach one can travelwith inquiring look on the countless

shells, pebbles, agates and broken relicsof other land?. He travels thus alongso absorbed by the curiosities he walkson that he forgets even time and dis-

tance. The monotonv, if it should be.

conie such, is often lelieved by tho

sigat of some ship gliding along ma-

jestically on the high seas. For ahealthful or a pleasant trip commendus to this section of Oregon.

Good. Yankee Doodle entertain-ment of last Wednesday was anothersuccess. The performances of this dash

ing company are characterized with

novelty and good taste. Sheridan,Chase and Goine are a good show withinthemselves. Walsh is exceptionallyworthy of mention; ho does well all heundertakes. However, there must be

no invidious distinctions. All the boysdo the best they can to learn and please.

It is far better to patronize them thanto encourage passing shows. Succossattend them.

utor of tho estate of J. C Floed, hasadvertised for sale at the old store, cer-

tute with an instrumental boIo after recess,and the same question discussed befora re-

cess "How shall we arouse a greater loadinterest in our schools?" was takea up andMr. W. L Friedlander, of this city,was called for, who made some verypractical remarks, proving that the directorsof Uosebarg are anxious to improve oar pub-lic schools. Judge C. Gaddis, J. L. Frsher,

j Mis3 H. Fate, also made very good remarks.Mrs. M. C. Fenton of Eugene, was called

FVENJXG SESSION.

At a very early hour the court hous wasfilled and when the time to commence theexercises had arrived, there was hardlystanding room.

Th opeuioc song by Mrs. A- - F. Camp-bell was a very beautiful one and was accom-

panied by a piano and violin.non. Biuger Hermann then opened a dis-

cussion upon the "Duties of the communityto the public school," by an eloquent ad-

dress, which was received with much ap-

plause by the audience."The Soldier's Chorus1' war the title of

a song by five male voices, which was one ofthe best treats of the session.

Prof. H. L. Benson of Drain, delivered anable address upon "The stutly of Englishliterature." Prof. Benson has given thesubject much Btudy and was well ijualihedto speak upon this important matter, Fol.lowing this was a vocal boIo by Mrs. G. W.Short of Wilbur. Mrs. Short i3 one of thebest vocalists and this btiing one of her bestefforts was greeted by great applause.

President Thomas Van Scoy of the Wil--lammette university, was then introducedas the lecturer of the evening, his subjectbeing "Influence of Thinking considered asa factor in tho development of character."President Van Scoy is an able epeakr andduring his entire lecture, though the roomwas uncomfortably fdld, close attentionwas given to his many interesting thoughts,which were clothed in elegant language andwas duly appreciated by the audience.

Miss Franc Odell of Eugene, then sang abolo. Miss Odell ia a beautiful singer andall her efforts during the institute were wellreceived.

After a few remarks by the president, an-

nouncing the work for the next day, thoevening session closed by a very beautifulsolo by Mrs. S. C. Flint.

IRt day's SS3SIOX.

The morning session was opened by awell prepared piper on primary reading, byMrs. T. M. Jackson, of the Eugene publicschools. This subject was furtherfdiscussedby J. R. Kendall, J. E. Day, Mrs. G. T.Russell, Mr3. H. P. Webb, Mins Anna Kent,M iss G. M. McLafferty, 13. A. Cathey, MissNettie McCornaek, Miss Anna Geisoudofferand H. L. Benson,

punctuality and good deportment.Supt. McElroy gave some very practical

and useful hints upon the "Organization of

district schools.""Is there not a tendency to be too practi-

cable in our school work?" was disensstd byW. F. Benjamin, G. T. Russe 1, B. A.

Cathey, E. T., Lockard.The institute was opeued in the afternoon

by an instrumental solo by Miss Delia Party?followed by an address by J. II, Kendall on

orthography. This subject was well ban-- ,

died by Mr. Kendall and his method of teach-

ing orthography was approved by ihe teach-

ers present. Aft a ocalsoloby MissNet- -

tie McCornaek the subject of "LanguageLessons" was treated by Miss Anna Geisen- -

doffer of Drain, in an excellent essay. Mis,G. E. McLafferty followed with excellentremarks on the same subject. WT. F. Owensthen delivered a masterly address upoi"lemperancc education in our publicschoo'a."

A resolution introduced by H. P. Webbendorsing the action of the State board ofeducation in recommending a text-boo- k on

temperance, was adopted, as was a resolu-

tion introduced by W. F. Benjamin askingthat physiology be one of the common schoolbranches.

Committee on resolutions, consisting of G.T. Russell, II. L. Benson and Mrs. M. C.

Fenton, made a report thanking railroad of-

ficials for reduction of fare, county officialsfor U3e of court house and the people of

Roseburg for the hospitality shown the teach-ers from a distance,

In closing our report of the teacher's institute at this place we cannot omit to men-

tion that the last night was very enjoyable.The entertainment given bj the "teachersof the young idea how to shoot," was a suc-

cess from beginning to end thereof. It was

good and thoroughly appreciated by a largeand intelligent audience. Tho receipts camewithin a few cents of paying all expenses in-

cident to everything connected therewith.This speaks well for the teachers and notpoorly for Roseburg.

Sale Room. Our old patron, W. G.

Woodward, with an eye to business forhimself and comfort and conveniencefor his customers, has opened a saleroom for harness, saddlery and other

goods in his Hue, in the building ad-

joining Marks Jt CVs brick. He makesa good and attractive display and his

new place is a valuable acquisition tothe principal business street of our city.The old stand will bo utilized for man-

ufacturing purposes. Suceess to theenterprise.

Danil Hill, charged with complicity inthe robbery of a mail pouch iu Coos county,some time last December, was on trial yes-

terday in the U. S. Circuit court before ajury. The defendant had been accused byStiUwell, the principal in the crime, andthis testimony was almost wholly unsup-ported. The defense showed that Hill hadborne a good reputation in the neighborhoodin which he lived, aud had some diCicultywith Stillwell's family, into which he hadmarried. This, it was supposed, constitutedthe auimus of tha accusation. The jury re-

turned a verdict of not guilty. Oregonian.

Oregonian 13th: Eleven carloads of invmigrants, the first section of a party occupy-

ing 4- - cars, arrived here at ten o'clock yesterday morning. They are from manV dif-

ferent States and dispersed here for various

points in Oregon and Washington.- - Just af-

ter leaving the Dalles yesterday morniug oneof the passengers, Mrs. Anna Powell of Ken-

tucky, aged 61, died on the train from ex-

haustion. She, with her husband and sev-

eral grown children, were en route to Doug-

las county. The remains were taken toCork's undertaking establishment and will be

shipped to Roseburg to-da- y.

A Chinaman was seen through an openwindow on Second street yesterday, says theOregonian, pacing up and down a room,holding in his hands a long flannel sack, thecontents of which he was pouring from oueend to the other and back unceasingly. Agentleman who knows something of thedark ways of the Chinese j said that he was

"sweating" coin that is, wearing it by fric-

tion, the particles worn off being taken upby the flanuel, wnich after a time will beburned aud the gold collected. It is not

j known how much per day can be made inthis way, out it any American engages m itbe will employ machinery, aa it would seemthat carrying on the trade by hand wouldwear a man out faster than it would the coin.

Improved Butter Making. IIseems that an effort is being made to

place Oregon butter on a par with thatof any State in the Union. Two dai-- lies at least, in this section, have or-

dered the most improved apparatus for

making butter, being what is known asthe De Laval cream separator, a Swiss

i

invention, in which the cream is sepa-rated from the milk by the action of a

rapidly revolving disk, without the te-

dious operation of setting it out in

pans. By tin's method butter is madewithin an hour from the time the cows

are milkfd. The next move will prob-

ably be to invent a machine into which

the cow can bo put and the butterwhirled light out of her. Let the goodwork go or, and let there be an end to

importing eastern lard as a lubricatorfor our bread. Oregonian.

Says the Standard. Daniel T. Hilland Andrew Gaines, charged as the ac-

complices of young StiUwell in robbingthe U. S. mail on the route from Myrtle Point to Camas vallev, were on trialin the TJ. S. Circuit court yesterday.After the testimony was all in, Gaineswas discharged from custody, as therewas no evidence that tended to showtbat he was in any way connected withthe transaction. The case ,will be ar-

gued to-day- , and then given to the juryStiUwell, the young nvin'who took the

100 from the mail pouch, has alreadypleaded guilty, and sentence will be

passed upon him, when tbe trial of the

present case is completed.

Says the Sprague Herald: A gen-tleman came down from tho mines on

day this week and tells a "straightforward

story and one we are inclined to

believe, of the mines and the outlookfor tbefutuie. He says he went theielast fall and is familiar with all tho lo- -

catiens made, and how they are paying,He says the "Widow" claim is the onlyone which has ever paid anything; thatthere will be more money taken jintothe mines in tho next three monthshan will be taken from them in the

next five months.

A correspondent of tho New YorkTimes reports that in Leavenworth,Kansas, a city of about 16,500 people,there are to-d- ay not less than 140 sa-

loons in which intoxicating liquors are

openly sold, and those saloons are vir-

tually licensed by tbe city at the rate of

$10 a mouth for each dealer. The feeis imposed in the shape of a monthlyfine for violation of the law, dealers,

city authorities and courts uniting thusto evade the law, and public sentiment

sustaining this demoralizing ,'' policy.Prohibition must have been put into the

State constitution to stay. It appearsnot to be in the saloons. Oregonian.
